The lesson includes information about the language level of the students, required vocabulary of the topic, warm-up, Jigsaw reading, needed materials and videos, group works and pair works, and reflection. The lesson is designed for a 45 min. lesson. We included the padlet as well as an alternate teaching tool.

This lecture course provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the international relations of the People’s Republic of China. China’s foreign relations during the Cold War as well as contemporary diplomatic, security and economic issues will be examined to identify and explain China’s foreign policy goals and their implementation since 1949. Throughout, this course will investigate the sources of conflict and cooperation in China’s behavior, assessing competing explanations for key events and policies. Readings will be drawn from political science, history, and international relations theory.

This is a seminar that I created as part of the requirements for completing my M.S. in Education through Cairn University. It contains the professional paper that I wrote about the research and process underlying the seminar, two PowerPoint presentations for the two sessions of the seminar, an instructor's manual with slide-by-slide breakdowns of each of the PowerPoint presentations, a participant's manual for the seminar's participants to take notes and provide feedback, and the participant's manual translated to Chinese. Please note that the PowerPoint presentations have been designed with Master Slides templates to ensure correct reading order for screen readers. Video has captions in both English and Chinese.

During the fall of 2017, art educator B. Stephen Carpenter II began a residency at the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology (CAST). He provided new perspectives on issues of access, privilege, and the global water crisis through a series of seminars, performances, and workshops. Carpenter's seminars illustrated ways of disrupting systems of oppression and ways to increase access to potable water in politically marginalized communites in the United States and abroad.

Following the trail of the Blood Covenant in the Bible

Short Description:
"Blood is thicker than milk..."The same God who created the world, created us to be in relationship with him. When we choose rebellion over the instructions of God, the kinship between us breaks. The loss is immeasurable. Everything God has to offer is forfeited: a personal bond with him, perfect peace, health, harmony with each other and the earth around us. Blood covenant, is defined by the statement "all I have is yours, all you have is mine." The age-old saying blood is thicker than milk, declares that covenants born out of love and sealed with blood are stronger than sharing milk at the same mother’s breast.Rebellion against God’s precepts brings death. The only answer for death is life-giving blood. Jesus, the sinless Son of God shed his blood so that our relationship with God could be restored.

Long Description:
The same God who created the world, created human beings in order to be in relationship with them. When we choose rebellion over the instructions of God, the kinship between us is severed. The loss is immeasurable. Everything God has to offer is forfeited: a personal relationship with him, perfect peace, health, harmony with each other and the earth around us. Long before current generations, God began and finally completed the process of restoration so that once more, we could be in a perfect bond with God.

Defined by the statement “all I have is yours, all you have is mine”, a relationship sealed with blood is more sacred than those who share the same mother’s milk. Thus the age-old saying: “blood is thicker than milk.” Known as “blood-brothers” many expressions of this special bond surface across centuries throughout all cultures.

Uncovered in these pages is a synopsis of one very special blood covenant. This crimson thread runs through the Judeo-Christian Bible. When we rebel against the precepts of God we experience death. The only solution for death is a transfusion of life. Jesus, the sinless Son of God shed his blood so that our lives with God could be restored.

Earth Law and the Rights of Nature: A New Generation of Laws Built for Nature Wilson, Grant, Kayman, Lindsey, Bartlett, Paul, and Milena Popov John Jay College of Criminal Justice, Earth Law Center, Environmental Education Fund
Forget doom and gloom. Let’s educate students about the Rights of Nature, an inspiring, evolving legal development which is gaining traction in the US and around the world, and which can promote the cultural shift needed to address our overlapping intersecting environmental crises — climate change, accelerating species extinction, and ecosystem collapse. The Rights of Nature is one aspect of Earth Law. Some of the other specific movements falling under the banner of Earth law are nonhuman rights for animals, defining ecocide as a crime, rights of future generations, legal guardianship for nature, and Indigenous legalities. In most countries, Nature has the legal status of mere property. The Rights of Nature recognizes that humans and Nature are in a relationship, rather than Nature merely providing a hoard of natural resources for indiscriminate human use. The legal structures discussed in Rights of Nature literature codifies the details of this restored relationship, rather than actually creating it. Nature becomes a legal entity with basic rights: the right to exist, flourish, thrive and regenerate. The Rights of Nature can also complement Indigenous rights by empowering Indigenous peoples to serve as legal guardians of their traditional territories. This poster and a companion open access CUNY Commons webpage and repository will provide links to curated video clips, films, case studies, a course book, a graduate level course syllabus, mock trial workshops, and written materials that can be used for incorporating the Rights of Nature and complimentary legal movements concepts into curricula.

Anthropogenic climate change is one of the, if not the most, pressing issues of our times. The problems that it causes range across many social and environmental domains from habitat and species loss and displacement to the more human and social concerns and issues of access to water, sea level rise that affects coastal communities, to economic degradation as a result of the aforementioned and other connected issues such as increased frequency of storms, droughts, wildfires, and the like. We also know that the affects of climate change are not distributed evenly across populations- that many will and do feel the negative effects of this slow developing problem earlier and more intensely than others based on where they are located both geographically and within economic and other socio-cultural hierarchies. We also know that recently, there is a marked effort to begin to move away from simply decrying the horrors of climate change to a continued recognition of those horrors as they exist now and into the future alongside attempts to begin to come to terms with the changing climate and to rethink the ways that our social and environmental relations and communities are organized with an eye toward both adapting to these changes and mitigating further damage. There is, however, much work to be done. This book was co-authored by undergraduate students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute while exploring the influences of Earth systems and human systems on climate change and the communities at most risk in an interdisciplinary project-based first year course. This course attempts to bring together knowledge of the science of ecological and climate systems and their changing status with knowledge of the social and communal structures within which these systems are embedded and through which they have been influenced. The book highlights key interests and insights of current students in their quest to think through these issues and to create a better world.

This open course introduces students to the scholarly communications system — with particular emphasis on the scholarly journal publishing mechanism — wherein new information is created, evaluated, disseminated, and preserved.

The course content is organized into three parts. First, The Fundamentals aims to acquaint students with the basic framework of contemporary scholarly publishing: how it operates, who is involved, what roles they play, etc., as well as asking students to consider how they themselves might engage with the system as consumers and producers of scholarly knowledge. Chapters include sample exercises to reinforce content, as well as recommended resources for further study. Next, (Some) Problems raises questions and issues that complicate contemporary scholarly publishing. While scholarship and research have the noble goal of building and sharing new knowledge for the public good, they are also inextricably bound to real-world economic structures and inequalities. This section examines how the scholarly publishing system intersects with money, power, and privilege. It asks students to grapple with the system’s structural, systemic failings, as well as contemplate ways in which it might be improved. Finally, the course culminates in two final Assignments that instructors can use as part of the curriculum, or that independent learners can work through on their own. These are open-ended in that there are no discrete right or wrong answers, but rather opportunities for students to grapple with and reflect on the content of the course.

Material in this course can be used in classroom settings or as self-paced tutorial. Appropriate audiences include upper-level undergraduate or graduate students who are interested in publishing their work; library & information science (LIS) students or early-career librarians interested in scholarly communications; and anyone else who wants a better understanding of the scholarly publishing system and the academic culture in which it is rooted.
